As far as components for the conversion, with this frame all that is needed are the wheels. I used the Mavic Crossmax SLR rims with (I think) Mavic Crossroc Roam 2.2 tires. There is a few millimeters of gap between tires and frame all around.

Other components I went with include: XX1 cf crank with Qring and xtr spds, XT drivetrain with XT brakes. And some other cf bits thrown in.
